OTTAWA, ONT., Jan. 29.-It is officially
stated that the Government, Ia respoIae
to an appeal to the mother country, has
Just received assurances from the Imper.
ial authorities that men-of-war will be
dispatched to tho maritime provinces in
the spring for the purpose OF cooperating
with Canadian cruisers In the enforce.
ment OF the fahery protective service.
The promise Of the English Government
created great satisfaction in official circles,
and indicates that American vessels will
be more rigidly excluded from our waters
during the next season than in the past,
"a Cabinet Minister, speaking on the
subject, expressed himself as follows:
II have come to the conclusion that
American legislators having gone 80 far
will never yield their consent to the an.
pointmsnt Of commission. Gloucester
hshermon will not venture into our waters
again in force, and next April will witness
tho frat startling falling OF in their trade.
Two years hence the splendid Yankee
fishing fleet will be thing of the past.
Let them resort to retaliation If they will,
md the result will be that the game will
work both ways.s Portland, now winter
port OF Canada, will decliue, while Hall.

WASHINGTON, January 29,-The Sub

1889, but ehould be regarded as prelimi.

Gated the celebration as historically valus-
bic, and said that he favored particularly
the portion of the plan which would result
in the collection and publication of inter.
esting papers bearing on the history Of the
period. Mr.. Carson and Mr.. Bullitt made
good speeches, and the hearing was closed
with the committee evidently inclined to
favor their recommendation.
It is probable that the appropriation
asked tor will be in the vicinity Of $780,
600, though that matter is likely to be- left
to the judgment OF the committee. The
expenditure will be comparatively small.
It would mostly be taken up in tie trans.
portation and provisioning Of troops, and
in the purchase and collection OF the
valuable historical papers, and when de.
voted to the latter purpose especially
would give some permanent return.

The Successful Remedy for

Must be nonirritating, easy Of application,
and one that will, by its own action, reach
all the remote sores and liberated sur
faces. The history of the efforts to treat
catarrah during the past few years demon.
strates that only one remedy has met these
conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm.
This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and
both physicians and patients freely concede
this fact. The more distressing symptoms
quickly yield to 1t, aud multitude OF per-
sons who have for years borne all the worry
and pain that catarrh can inilict, testify to
radical and permanent cures wrought by 1t.
Ely's Cream Balm is perfectly soothing, ex.
cites no dread, dissolyes the hardened ac
cumulations, lessons the extreme sensibllity
OF the nerve centers tocold and all external
irritants, and is followed by no reaction
whatever.
